A Message to Poplar Creek Golfers from the Director of Parks and Recreation:

.

As most of you are aware, after a year-long study that examined alternative recreational uses for Poplar Creek Golf Course, the San Mateo City Council recommended that it remain as a golf course at least through the end of the debt service in 2029. For all of you who have been loyal players throughout the years, thank you for your continued support of Poplar Creek! Now that the future direction is clear, we are anxious to optimize and enhance the player experience at Poplar Creek while looking to improve our overall financial position. Towards that end, the Parks and Recreation Department will be convening a series of golfer focus groups over the next several months to hear your thoughts and ideas about how we can better serve the golfing public. These are expected to be relatively short meetings, 90 to 120 minutes in length and are planned to cover topics such as course conditions, pace of play, pro shop and restaurant experiences, green fees and overall customer satisfaction. We anticipate scheduling 4-6 focus groups with 12-15 participants each. If you are interested in participating in one of the focus groups, please fill out the brief information sheet and return it to me. We are looking for a range of golf players…. residents and non-residents, frequent and occasional, low and high handicap, veteran and novice. More important however, we are looking for golfers who will provide constructive and honest feedback with the goal of improving the player experience at Poplar Creek Golf Course. If you are not selected, you will still be afforded the opportunity to provide your feedback via an on-line survey.

.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at scanzian@cityofsanmateo.org. Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you.
